Each week, Behind the Stays brings you the stories behind your favorite Airbnbs and the hosts who’ve made them memorable. Meet the military veterans, retired flight attendants, tech entrepreneurs, school teachers, single moms, digital nomads, and real estate investors who have all, in their own unique ways, joined the growing community of short-term rentals. Discover how these hosts — from all over the world — have built chic cabins in the mountains, designed bohemian bungalows on the beach, and erected eclectic off-grid escapes. Behind the Stays is brought to you by Sponstayneous — a carefully-curated newsletter that sends subscribers 150 of the best last-minute deals and upcoming steals on Airbnb twice a week. You can subscribe for free at www.sponstayneous.com. Behind the Stays is hosted by Zach Busekrus (@zboozee) — Co-Founder of Sponstayneous. If you know of an Airbnb host you think we should have on the show, please reach out directly to me at zach@sponstayneous.com and I’d be happy to talk with them.

Meet Mark Lumpkin from STR Cribs — the leading one-stop-shop for renovating, designing, and fully-furnishing a short-term rental.
Mark is an innovative entrepreneur who has worked on nearly 600 renovations transforming run-of-the-mill homes into bespoke, scroll-stopping stays.
In this conversation, Mark and I discuss
- How thematic short-term rentals can be a great way to compete against unique stays when your STR is a condo or single-family home
- Why more hospitality entrepreneurs should create experiential stays for families not just couples
- The most impactful and least impactful renovations you can do when getting your home ready to list on Airbnb
- The most under-rated markets for thematic stays
- Hot takes on AI and the role it should and shouldn’t play in hospitality
- And loads more
This episode is brought to you by Posh Outdoors.
Posh Outdoors supplies owners of iconic properties and stunning land with high-end glamping accommodations and backend support, at no up-front cost to the landowner — and the way they make their money is through an attractive revenue share model once your unit is ready for hosting.
Posh Outdoors is doing something really revolutionary — they are making it easy for you to invest in luxury glamping as an entire asset class rather than an individual glamping resort.
